i thought it didn't hurt? you had convinced me to get one.

no it doesnt hurt, it ITCHES!!! and it looks so nasty right now, all the dead skin is starting to come off

Give it time!! Put some nice cream on it to soothe the itching. I used a non-scentend cream from the Body Shop that my tattooist recommended.
Resist the urge to itch!!!

mine never got all scabby!
they gave me this skin stuff to put on it, just for tattoos?
weird!
wierd & gross!

-leah- where exactly is the tatto?
- bulletfactory0
yes, most of mine never scabbed much at all. a thin layer of vitamin a+d ointment rubbed in like it was lotion aided in keeping it from itching, and overscabbing. don't apply too much, i've seen a few that had to be re-done as a result of putting way too much ointment on. keep strong - it'll stop.
